Brand new addition to my den. I purchased this very fine bowl from Mr. Steve Woodhead from the UK. http://stevewoodheadceramics.co.uk/ As some of you may know this would make it my second purchase from him. My first one listed here in the link below.

Shipping takes a while but well worth the wait. He charges about 10 British Pounds to California, Which to me is well worth it. The bowl came in a nice sized box with plenty of wrap that kept it nice and safe. I like the style because the bottom can be easily gripped, it also has some very deep contour swirls that help create very good lather. The colors are also deep and beautiful. It seems to hold its heat very well and is just an all around pleasure to use. Thanks Steve, I love it!

Thanks guys. I've been enjoying it everyday since I got it. Weather isn't really that cold out here in So Cal yet. So I just heat it up with tap water, lather it up and it seems to hold it in very well. I really like it.
